Matt Harrison (LHP) W-L 3-2 ERA 6.46K 7 Walks 17 WHIP 1.73 |
Chris (H2O) Waters (LHP) W-L 1-0 ERA 0.00K 3 Walks 3 WHIP 0.50 |
I'm on my way to my in-laws before we fly to Disney tomorrow, so make sure you bug SC to get GameDay threads up while I'm gone. The new, Kevin Millar-approved nickname for Chris Waters is apparently H2O, so I guess we'll go with that for now. Hopefully, he looks great again today, and the way Texas has looked at the plate the last two nights and with a day game, conditions should favor Waters. Go get 'em, O's! SWEEP! SWEEP! SWEEP!
Now, I gotta go see about a mouse in Florida with the wife and kids. See y'all in 7 days.

I was
In NY yesterday and happened to get DirecTV with the MLB Extra Innings package. It’s kind of funny, listening to all of the FSN guys since most of them sound the exact same…of course, only Jim Palmer talked the entire…freaking…game.
Bring Tex Home.
Alex.
You should have had that.

The Orioles
Won on Sunday the time they hit before the game.
Did they do that today and why did it take them like 15 straight Sunday losses before they tried hitting?
Bring Tex Home.
I'm blaming all of this on Cintron not catching that pop-up.

i agree..
that first play is i’m prefectly fine with Castro at short. even if he doesn’t hit (i know he’s hurt)
went from popup should be an out, to a ‘single’, then ‘h2o’ lost focus, threw 5 straight balls including a wild pitch, then came back and piped a belt-high fastball to Josh Hamilton..heh. and its snowballed from there..

I'm kinda glad that happened
Waters in the rotation was going to end in pain at some point, so sooner is better than later.
MELMO!
DONG!

this could be a very ugly game...
waters looks like he was sort of snakebitten that first inning, but the 2 ks is positive. i dunno, though.

So, George Sherrill's messin' with his wife?
I mean, she is kinda hot, but George doesn’t strike me as an adulterer…

I’d be creeped out if I was Melvin.

I still can't believe no one wanted Huff at the deadline.
Their loss, I suppose.

'Spose I should be watching
The Bay Bridge has one bridge closed due to a truck falling off of it. Yeah, you read that right. We aren’t leaving for a while. Nice to see the O’s get the lead and H2O settle down…

wow.
I always hated going over that bridge, and now I have even more reason.

Yes, much like your kitchen..
things are coming together quite nicely here.
Bob Villa on the O’s.
If the Rangers can't stand the heat, get outta Z's kitchen!

And that’s us! Meanwhile, Randor’s warming in the pen. Buckle your seat belts.

We’re all tied up.

you know...
given the ridiculousness of what amber had predicted before the season started… i’m flat impressed.
The funny thing is, she asks “what if…” the players reach these numbers. The answer is still 5th place.
Donde esta, Juan Castro?

god damn you randor
start off the inning with a double after we come back?
crap.
this game is going to last forever.

Crap, this is gonna be 11-10...
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
i was thinking 18-16 game
Their pitching sucks (worst in the majors), our pitching sucks.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
Randor, buddy, that was some fine sucktitude.

i had to turn off the video..
but did he get a standing ovation as he walked off? I’m assuming he did..
metcalf came in hitting .093
granted, only ~20 at bats.. but still.
You may recall that this team nipped us at the buzzer once last year...30-3.
But as Joe just said, “Somehow you get the felling that the Orioles are not out of this game.”
So I’m thinking 30-28.

disappointing.
we’ve got four more chances to do this.

i'm going to go now.
But something I found interesting… Roch thought Montanez was to blame for Payton tumbling over on that flyball earlier… A fan wrote on his blog that he thought Montanez saved Payton and Roch corrected him.
I’m pretty sure Payton judged that ball all wrong and fell over. Hell, even Jim Palmer saw it that way. (Can’t believe i’m using that to my defense)
Oh, one more thing...
Look at Cormier’s last 10 outings… he’s struggling, bad.
Ok, guys.
Score some frigging runs.

You really shouldn’t be bragging.
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
lets see
Orioles- last place, 56-60, and 10 straight losing seasons
Rangers- 2nd place, 61-58, We have Josh Hamilton, a contending season even though we have 4th lowest pay roll and the youngest MLB roster in the league
braggggg
Feliz and Hurley. The 1-2 punch of the future
yeah, but...
the rangers rotation is donkeyshit, the best pitching prospects have been traded away, basically for hamilton (so, enjoy that!).
i dunno…i don’t recall offense ever really being the problem the rangers had. win a title, or make a world series even, THEN you’re shit talking may carry some weight.

you obviously dont know anything about the Rangers' farm system
Derek Holland, Neftali Feliz, Michael Main, Tommy Hunter, and Eric Hurley. 2 of those guys are in the majors and the other 2 have 96+ fastballs.
Say all you want about the pitching the majors but the record is wat matters. Volquez is the only prospect lost and if you haven’t noticed he has sucked the last 2 months and his in the NATIONAL LEAGUE.
oh and by the way, the orioles are 2nd to last in the Al in era
Feliz and Hurley. The 1-2 punch of the future
this game has kind if stunk...
montanez nickname=scarface?

He's been busy

Maybe the scales would have been tipped in our favor if Luke had been playing.

that sucked.
All of this is still Cintron’s fault.

seriously
i think Cintron is the only player in the universe that makes me long for Juan Castro
joe angel...
was riding cintron pretty hard. yes, he failed to make some plays, but the pitching has to be better. i mean, i know it’s actually been pretty solid of late, but to lose a game in which your offens eputs up 7 runs is pretty bad.

Hah! Held 'em to 15!

Plus
White Sox won (obviously, beat Red Sox)
Twins tied w/ Royals in the 11th.
I’m rooting for both of these teams so one of them will be the wild card.

Wild Card out of AL Central
And Rays taking the East would be so freaking awesome.
